Astonishing Helicopter Rides around the World

Helicopter rides can help you enjoy a truly impressive experience and a unique view of the city, which you definitely cannot see by foot. Helicopter tours are the only way for you to see more remote areas of a region. Imagine that more than 60 percent of the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai are inaccessible by land, so the only way to see this incredible piece of paradise is if you to turn at a helicopter tour. Besides the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai, there are plenty other regions that you should see from a helicopter. Here are some incredible rides that you should take to admire the most beautiful places on this planet.

When we are thinking of helicopter rides and amazing landscapes to enjoy from the air, Grand Canyon is without a doubt the first place that comes to mind. This place is over 10 km wide and one mile deep. This means that the only way to see its true beauty and its colorful formations is by air. Also, the only way that tourists can see the Colorado River and how its tributaries have cut their way through the canyon, is by taking a helicopter tour. When you fly over the Grand Canyon, usually the helicopter tour also includes passes over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and Las Vegas.

From high above the city, you will have a great view of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, Ipanema Beaches, the Copacabana and you will also pass by the well-known Christ the Redeemer statue, situated on Corcovado Mountain. Another great view that should not be missed is the Maracana Stadium, the place where the opening ceremonies for 2014 World Cup were held.

These incredible waterfalls are the largest in the world and straddle the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia in Africa. Victoria Falls is 1.707 meters wide and 107 meters tall, which makes it the biggest sheet of falling water on the planet. Victoria Falls is so big that if you want to see it entirely, the only way to do it is by air. Taking a helicopter tour is the perfect idea to see this natural wonder. If you are getting lucky, you can also see Africa’s famous wildlife, for example elephants or hippos.
